A veces uno amanece con ganas de extinguirse... Como si fuéramos velitas sobre un pastel de alguien inapetente. A veces nos arden terriblemente los labios y los ojos y nuestras narices se hinchan y somos horribles y lloramos y queremos extinguirnos... Así es la vida, un constante querer apagarse y encenderse. -Julio Cortázar
Fortaleza
¿A qué llamamos fortaleza?
No es nunca sentir debilidad o tristeza, sino ser capaz de levantarte y seguir adelante, incluso cuando las cosas parecen no tener solución.
No te castigues por tener momentos de vulnerabilidad. Todos los seres humanos los tenemos. Lo importante es cómo sigues, cómo te permites sentir y luego continúas buscando maneras de seguir adelante.
Eso es fortaleza.
-R
Recuerda esto...
La vida parece querer lanzarte muchos obstáculos en tu camino, pero tú has sido increíblemente fuerte para enfrentarlos y seguir adelante. Eso es algo en lo que debes sentir orgullo y te demuestra lo fuerte que eres.
Mi propio sol jaja.
Life is teaching me the law of detachment. Ain’t nothing really yours, you gotta be comfortable with not being attached. Just enjoying life for what it is & moving on when it’s time.
{“The sun is falling down on me when I’m in the air, Valentine’s my death date, as it is meant to be for the following years. I’ll have you know I die every year for the upcoming holiday, Fresh flowers in a bouquet, place it on my front doorstep, I won’t answer no matter what you say. So, If I were the river, and you were the sea, Would this make you happier than we were ever meant to be. Languages, several, the downfall of me, English my love, Turkish my worst nightmare, the phantom tollbooth. But they took everything from me, would this be a good enough of an excuse for you to allow me to ache, Bury my head underneath a pillow, lack the oxygen I already don’t deserve, Suffocate myself so the air of Malibu wouldn’t make me cry underneath the atmospheric pressure? I’m falling down a skyscraper, in my dreams, Would you catch me before I meet the ground in an ease? The feeling surreal yet so real, I can’t depict which soul my own, belongs to me, before my wake. Why does relief make its way back to me when consciousness is gained, And I know it wasn’t real. I listen to alternative all day every day, I alternate as well maybe. Watching the sun switch places with the moon, I would love to do that with somebody who gets me, Switching places with the sun, So I could be in complete darkness with the moon. Would you Promise me this would be forever, Or will you, run away, twenty miles apart, Like all the others who went and came but never stayed?”}

The heart, after agreeing with the brain to feel no more, falls to it's old habit, anyways.
The heart does not fear, but only wants --
the brain wants, too, but also knows --
When a good thing comes it will not last.
And so the heart saturates itself, in this, while the brain prepares, happy and sad in it's bitter sweet, weary of the ends that are to come --
shoring up its defenses for the time when a swelling heart grows too big, the dam eventually breaks,
and the plains of my soul will drown in anguish --
V. Rue, 2025.
“And if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad.”
— Stephen Chbosky; The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Que alguien se detenga en tus silencios habla de un cariño que no busca ser visto, solo sentido.
Many situations feel hopeless, but for those who know God and believe in His faithfulness, there’s always a reason for hope as we trust His power and grace to carry us through.
